My morning routine includes a cappuchino at a local bar, prayer at La Badia, and cappucchino and a brioche at the café at the Feltrinelli bookstore. I confess I don’t buy books because traveling with a Kindle is the easy way to go. However, the atmosphere at the book/café is engaging. I wonder if the men who gather at the café love books and the book atmosphere? There are usually six or seven at a given time who take over the middle table. Once in a while one purchases a café, although that doesn’t seem to be a prerequisite for taking up the space. It’s the Italian way—enjoy the moment. I’m working on it.
